Absolutely true. A few years ago I was at a car show with the Cobra and my kids. A father and son, who appeared to be about 15 or 16, took a real interest in my car and chatted with me for quite a while. The next year, at a different show, they were both there, but this time, they had an older, but nice, Olds 442 that they had bought and were obviously restoring together. They both came over and said "do you remember us?" From that point on if a father/son, or father/daughter, combo show real interest in my car, I not only spend time talking with them, but I let them sit behind the wheel, get their photos taken in it, play vroom-vroom while they turn the wheel, etc. It's my way of "planting a seed."
